How do I clean a sticky speaker


I just picked up a pair of Celestion SL600 speakers that are covered with a tacky black substance. One speaker is so sticky that dust and crud has stuck to it. I'm thinking that I want to strip off this gook and repait the aluminum cabinets. Lacquer sor of tatke of off but not easily. Any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks much

With all proper precautions when using this flammable agent, lighter fluid often works when all else fails.
I have used in the open air outside of the house for removing the occasional anonymous sticky material that seems to afflict the used components we all buy.
Test a small area to check if the speaker cabinet finish is preserved.
Happy New Year, minus the incendiary display!
